Energy self-sufficiency of smallholder oil palm processing
Palm oil processing wastes such as empty fruit bunch, palm press fibre, palm kernel shell and chaff, and diesel were used as energy sources for oil palm processing. • The total energy utilized by the mills for processing 1 tonne of FFB ranged from 2179.43 to 3014.31 MJ. • Biomass energy accounted for 98.22–98.75 %, while diesel accounted
For instance, about 2.5% of total energy demand is from fossil fuel, 97.5% from oil palm processing biomass , and <1% of manual energy in semi-mechanized palm oil mill in Nigeria.
Energy self-sufficiency of smallholder oil palm processing
Mar 01, 2014· Hence, the proportion of each of the energy sources used for processing oil palm was computed. Based on the mass balance of smallholder oil palm processing, the amount of excess biomass was estimated. 2.4. Data analysis. SPSS software version 17 (SPSS Inc, Chicago) was used to carry out the statistical analysis on the calorific value.
Downloadable (with restrictions)! The study evaluated the contribution of various energy sources to the smallholder processing of oil palm in Nigeria. Ten small-scale palm oil processing mills were visited at Elele, River State, Nigeria for sample collection. The weight of the various solid wastes generated and utilized for boiling process were measured including EFB (empty fruit bunch), PPF
ENERGY SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF SEMI-MECHANIZED OIL PALM
of biomass in oil palm processing from1 tonne of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) by a semi-mechanized palm oil processing mill in Nigeria. The energy required for the extract oil from fresh fruit was measured at the Bayelsa Palm Mill, Elebele, Nigeria. The average weight of FFB was 13.5 kg. The
Nigeria is the fifth largest producer of oil palm in the world with production of 930 thousand metric tonnes accounting for about 1.5% of global output.
Small-Scale Palm Oil Processing Business in Nigeria: A
Keywords: feasibility, Nigeria, Palm oil, processing equipment, profitability, small scale palm oil processing. The authors also enumerated the way forward towards palm oil self sufficiency in Nigeria by venturing into smallholder oil palm processing. On the other hand, the financial feasibility shows that profit is the key
The authors also enumerated the way forward towards palm oil self sufficiency in Nigeria by suggesting that the planting materials should be improved and that government should support the processors with gjournals.org 71 Greener Journal of Business and Management Studies ISSN: 2276-7827 ICV 2012: 6.03 Vol. 4 (3), pp. 070-082, July 2014
